Our beloved cat Hobbes was born June 1st, 2002, and passed away in the comfort of our home on April 5th, 2015. Hobbes brought so much joy to our lives with his sweet, affectionate nature and his unconditional love. His favorite things were laying in the sun, chasing birds, Fancy Feast, and cuddling. Though we miss him terribly, it is a relief to know that he is no longer in pain. Rest in peace, Hobbes. We love you.

My sweetest pup Tat (short for Tatiana) left us on October 23, 2014 after 16 long years. She was a very special dog that touched many lives – I wish words could convey how truly amazing she was. So many people said they never liked Chihuahuas until they met Tat. (Why do Chihuahuas get a bad rap?) In her younger years, she was quite rambunctious and loved to play fetch and snuggle. As she got older, her favorite activities were sunbathing and napping. Even as a senior dog, Tat still looked like a puppy with her flop ears. She gave the best greetings every time you came home, so excited and happy to see you again. She even did a little laugh! Sixteen years is a long life for a dog. Tat created so much love and happiness in this world. Her essence of beauty and love will live on in so many wonderful memories. RIP, my little angel.

After a very brief, valiant bout with cancer, Huck passed away peacefully at home at sunset yesterday, with his head snuggled in my lap, Ross and I stroking and loving him along the way.

It goes without saying that he was the best dog in the whole world. It is comforting that he was hiking and chasing birds just a couple of weeks ago. And the last thing he did was to go to the beach to sniff, paw, wade and greet other dogs—he died with wet paws. And prance: he pranced until the very end.

He had a wonderful, wonderful life, a brief illness with just enough time to say good-bye, and a good death. We should all be so lucky.

My beloved Brodie lost his battle
with kidney disease on May 12, 2014.Although we tried, he just couldn’t hold on any longer.It seems like only yesterday he was just a
little, playful kitten, who loved to ride on my back, but I was lucky to have
had him for 15 years.I will miss his
company, his chatter, silky fur, and beautiful baby-blue eyes.What a handsome boy he was and so gentle and
sweet.May you rest in peace and run
free with your brother, Coco, on the other side until we all meet again.
